Distributed Computing

Anyone participate in distributed computing like Primegrid@home or Seti@home? I was wondering If there were enough of us we could make a group on one of the projects.

Personally I've enjoyed working on SETI@home, looking for aliens. Did a lot of work on LHC@home too. Helped them sift through all the raw data they got from their experiments.

If you are unfamiliar with Distrubited computing I'd suggest http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ to Download the Client, or look at the above mentioned projects:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

http://www.primegrid.com/

http://lhcathome.web.cern.ch/LHCathome/ (yes you can find the Higgs)

I just wondered, seeing as we are mostly heavy PC gamers with some extra cycles hanging around.

 
Yes, very much so. Tough it looks like it uses its own computing software rather than the standard BOINC. That's pretty neat.

 
I'm not really too savy on the technical specifications of folding@home (no idea what BOINC is, sorry. >

Having briefly taken a look at the links you pasted above, I'd say the SETI one and the LHC one appeal most to me.
